Want to see the real Yogyakarta? Explore the marvels in 48 hours: Borobudur Pindul and Timang Beach for an adventure of a lifetime!

That’s what our guides like to say, and they’re not wrong. This two-day journey takes you from ancient temples to hidden caves to a fishing gondola that’ll make your heart skip a beat.

Day one starts at Borobudur, and if you’ve never seen it at dawn, you’re in for something special. This isn’t just another temple – it’s the largest Buddhist sanctuary on Earth, a UNESCO site that’s survived volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and centuries of tropical storms. As the morning mist lifts, your guide will walk you through stories carved in stone, showing you why this place has captivated visitors for over 1,200 years.

Pindul Cave River Tubing

Then we’ll trade ancient architecture for natural wonders at Pindul Cave. Picture yourself floating on an underground river, surrounded by limestone formations that look like they’re straight out of a fantasy movie. Stalactites hang like frozen waterfalls above you while your guide points out rock formations that took millions of years to create. Don’t worry about the technical stuff—we’ve got all the gear and expertise you need.

Timang Beach Gondola Ride

Day two brings you to Timang Beach, home to what might be Indonesia’s most unusual commute. Local fishermen here have rigged up a traditional gondola system that dangles right over the Indian Ocean. It’s not your typical cable car – this wooden platform, suspended by simple ropes and pulleys, has been the fishermen’s way to reach their favorite spots for generations. You’ll get a chance to ride it yourself, feeling your stomach drop as waves crash below. If you’re up for it, stick around to learn traditional fishing techniques from the locals who’ve mastered these waters.

We take care of all the details – comfortable transport between sites, professional guides who know these places inside and out, and every piece of equipment you’ll need. All you have to do is show up ready for Borobudur Pindul and Timang Beach adventure.
